Stoke Newington Neighbourhood Guide

‘Stokey’ as it is affectionately known to the locals, has, like much of the rest of London, undergone its fair share of gentrification over the years. Yet, at the same time, it has still managed to retain its village feel and distinct bohemian community atmosphere.

Stoke Newington High Street and adjoining Church Street are where you will find most of the action with a bustling mix of independent shops and restaurants, in fact, it is one of the very few areas of London that has managed to keep the major chains out. A couple of supermarkets and a Nando’s have snuck their way in (despite fierce opposition from the locals) but overall the independents still reign strong.

Stokey doesn’t have a tube station (although many would call this a blessing) but it does have an overground station which means you can still be in the City within 20 minutes and the West End in around half an hour. The area is also surrounded by a number of impressive green open spaces including Abney Park, Stoke Newington Common and Clissold Park. Like the rest of London, Stokey suffered a fair amount of damage during the Second World War, however, the level of destruction was significantly lower than most other parts of East London so many of its historical buildings managed to survive; including the striking eighteen century Clissold House and the impressive Art Deco Town Hall.

In terms of residential property, many period properties remain, including large period houses and even some Victoria Mansion blocks, in fact several streets are entirely Grade II Listed. Other property is much like the rest of East London with a mix of period flat conversions and post war developments. A number of new developments have cropped up over recent years and no doubt will continue to do so but so far certainly not to the degree of some of its neighbours.
